This is where we have more flexibility to modify the procurement process to meet service needs. In order to be clear where we are using a modified process, rather than the procedure defined in PCR 2015 the use term “pseudo” is used. This is a 5 year framework with an optional extension of 2 years (subject to Cabinet approval)

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health services (85100000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 8538,3731 median · 19.7 average (22,930 of 38,373 with a bid count)1.8 average (24,592 of 38,373 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs
Same buyer544 median · 16.4 average (24 of 54 with a bid count)5 average (32 of 54 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKK131531 median · 9.2 average (79 of 153 with a bid count)3.8 average (108 of 153 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
